Subject:   Problem playing MPEG files

Hello.

Could you please help me on playing MPEG files.

I have an ESS ES688 AudioDrive card, on bootup it defaults to IRQ7. It does
very well play MPEGs with WinAmp for Windows 95.

When I try to play the same MPEG files on the same hardware under FreeBSD
2.2.2, I get the following message from mpg123:

vas: {3} mpg123 mc.mp3
High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3.

No supported audio format found!

In test mode it is OK:

vas: {10} mpg123 -t mc.mp3
High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3.

Playing MPEG stream from mc.mp3 ...
MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo

I might think that my sound card is misconfigured. Indeed, something may be
wrong with it. However, timidity does work, so do
'cat file.au > /dev/audio' and xanim with sound.

This is what I have in my kernel config, then I changed the IRQ from 5 to 7
in the 'boot -c' visual editor.
